IRS LT41 Notice: Third Party Contact — Unfiled Returns

The LT41 notifies you the IRS intends to contact third parties regarding unfiled tax returns. They may contact your employer to verify income, your bank to verify account activity, or other parties to gather information that will be used to prepare a Substitute for Return if you don't file.

Why This Is Urgent

Third-party contacts for unfiled returns mean the IRS is moving toward filing an SFR on your behalf. They're gathering income information to build a return that will include all your income and none of your deductions. The resulting assessment will be higher than what you'd owe on your own return.

File Before They Do

File your delinquent returns immediately. Your own return with proper deductions, credits, and filing status will produce a lower liability than anything the IRS prepares. Every day you wait gives the IRS more time to build their case without your input.
